The 3G Kitchen platform: A no cost possible solution to better attract 3G signals to your home.


Background Story

It was once a pain in my ass, as when I got my rural home (Pannala), I always am losing the connection I hold with the outer world. That is good in a way as I get a true relieve out of the busy bragging competitive civilization once in few months when I return to home. Yet it is very painful as I miss my daily internet meals. The people in my village have given up their thoughts on buying a SLT line or at least a 3G wireless connection after a generation long painful struggle with authorities.  I also have experimented with every wireless 3G providers for internet at my rural home; unfortunately I could not find anybody who could afford to solve the poor 3G signal issue at our village. Therefore normally when I got home, I got to climb trees or moved in to the rocky sites of 3G signals with the Dongle and the Laptop in search of haunting freaking 3G signals appearing and disappearing in and around the village.  

The luck I found

One day, I left the Laptop connected dongle in the kitchen for some urgency and have accidently put my dongle in a very silver/aluminum pot. The miraculous lucky pot is in fact old over generations.  However on my return an unexpected wonderful sight was spotted. Surprisingly my dongle software has recorded an unexpected exponential climb of 3G signals while the mighty dongle was resting on my grandma’s pot. Wow!!! I got it off the pot. Signals drastically dropped. Oh … hoo; now I am sure that aluminum plates or similar pots could be well used as mighty wireless 3G antennas. I am no longer a sad boy at my home who risks his life to get internet by climbing steep walls and tall trees.  It was an awesome invention and indeed was such an incredible feeling after all; internet is now at my home.


Picture: The First on the spot picture of the noble invention of 3G Kitchen Platform

However with a victorious mind, I search in the web for 3G antennas. My god, you will find similar antennas are already in use.  Nevertheless, when you prepare your own 3G booster antenna based on noble 3G kitchen platform, probably the bellows would help.

Very important

Tests proved that the orientation/establishment of the Dongle is so important for the success of your 3G kitchen Platform. Lol. In order to get better results.
 
         1.Locate the central point of your Aluminum Plate/Pot and place your dongle there.
         2.Must always keep the dongle in the perpendicular plane against the antenna body.

1. Tests Results

Issue is well observable as in the picture 1 : 3G signals were absent to my kitchen and to any other place belonging to our teritorial inheritance :D.  But with the introduction of new Kitchen made 3G antenna platform; We observed convincing results. The results were very promising as the effective signal strength enhance exceeding the level of 29% so that we were able to observe two coloured dashes of the traditional 3G signal indicator (Picture 2). 

1.1 Issue

Though there are remote sites close to my home where freaking 3G signals were intermittently present, at my home there was no way I could use a 3G dongle to connect internet from any of those Internet Service Providers who boast about their island wide coverage.


Picture 1 : No 3G signals. (Awful rural kitchen)

1.2 Fix

After the introduction of Kitchen 3G Platform signal strength for the dongle gradually started to rise So that any dongle could be used from home to connect to internet.




Picture 2 : Successful introduction of Kitchen 3G antenna. 3G Signal strength gradually climbed up to 29%. The current state of 3G at my rural home is more than enough to watch my favorite tube streams without any trouble.


1.3 Limitations

1. Remember this is an Antenna. So for the best performance you will be required to place the aparatus to the direction of the nearest tower from where you get 3G connection.

2. You know a typical antenna is not a signal station. Therefore when you put this in a Zero signal area, the antenna coud do nothing. So it is expected that at least signals are intermittently smelling to the site so that antenna could strength them. Generally evey signal has its own limitation, based on various factors, like weather condition, itnterferences bla bla bla. As they traverse through the atmosphere, it is inevitable the energy get lost. This is common for 3G as well. So you could do nothing with this aparatus when you get a dead signal.

  
2. Commercial Release of the Kitchen 3G antenna

The kitchen 3G platform principles were further strengthened in order for better commercialization. Following 3G antenna apparatus was engineered from a traditional set of rural kitchen equipment.

Tools and equipment required
    1. A box of matches
    2. A metal plate
    3. Old TV antenna  (optional).
    4. Some glue

2.1 Method

Locate the center of the Plate. Apply some glue on the match box and fix it in the middle of the plate as shown below so that the match box will act as your dongle holder.

2.2 The Ultimate Commercial Product

The product bellow in the picture is for genuine presentations. Naaaaaaah !!! Just kiddin…  It indeed shows how you are going to mount your dongle in to the kitchen based antenna platform.  The last thing you gonna do is fixing your dongle to the laptop. You know how to do it. Lol!!! :D.  Now no longer have you needed to climb the trees, or conquer bushes once you get your rural home. 3G is readily working at your room.

Special offer, you don’t have to pay me for Patents. Enjoy. :P
